BootLoader has never been unlocked.
Phone has never been rooted.
It was on Career Stock firmware, last KitKat update.
The phone was at 70% Battery, then power off itself. I tried to power on but the Red LED was blinking, then tried to charge it but it did the same thing.
Finnaly I tried to connect to PC, i got sounds notifications that it plugs in and out, Like the phone was powering off and on.
Does anyone know if it's possible to acces internal storage , and if it's possible to repair the device?
Thanks a lot for answers.
You can flash the Firmware again with flashtool...
The Phone doesn't stay connected and can't boot. How can i flash firmware this way?

Prepare the files in flashtool then when the flash tool tells you to connect the phone hold volume up and connect the phone to pc . If the flashing is started then the phone will stay connected until the end of flashing . I had this problem .

I was on the .270 FW but lost root and the bootloader got locked as upgraded using PC companion. So i downloaded an older fw 534 and downgraded my phone. Then rooted by phone. Till this point the phone was fine. Later i installed the latest dual recovery and unlocked the bootloader using the adb method and then. I had created a 270 pre rooted rom using the prf creater which had the latest dual recovery flashfile and supersu and flashed it using the dual recovery. Then i tried to wipe the device but it kept saying that unable to mount system. Then i rebooted but my device never started.
No led, no screen light, no vibration when using all keycombo. let the phone charging for 12 hours. Now i see red led blinking - for 3 sec the red led will be on and for 2 sec it goes off. Is it kaput or is there a way to revive the phone?
You will have to try and downgrade to the 108 firmware located here: -http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2469191
You cannot upgrade to 270 from android 4.2.2 which is your 534 firmware this is probably why your phone will not turn on.
Get firmware 108 for your device
Using FlashTool to flash 108 to handset
Then root and install Recovery
The install pre-rooted 270

When using Flash Tool, when you have loaded the 108 firmware it when it asks you to plug your phone in, while your phone is turned off, press and hold the volume down button, and connect your phone to the USB cable which is plugged into your PC.

No worries.. And remember your phone is not hard bricked if you see any led or vibration in device..
Soft bricked devices can be recovered easily with few tips and tricks never give up..!
I got my z1 in even stranger situation it didnt even showed any sign of life just device got mildly hot and i could feel it, i just waited for it to cool down and then charged it for few hours and tryed to flash ftf, phone got its life back...
Ok so im dealing with a possible Hard Bricked Xperia TL, unlocked sim (not sure about bootloader)
well it started out as so.
one night the phone was supposed to be charging but it was not. The charger was extremely hot and sometimes the phone would be as well. The battery went 100% dead and from what i heard is that i should NEVER let it get that way.
so then i tried to charge the phone but all that would happen was that the red power led would flash and go away. and if i press the power button it would flash 2 times and not boot. no matter what happened i could not the phone to charge. then i tried to do the "rubberband trick" Placing the rubberband over the bower button and trying to let it charge while plugged into the wall with another charger. and it would stay on a steady red light for a bout 10 or so minutes and then stop.( rumor is that it wont charge that way without a sim card in the slot but i dont know about that, Plus the customer didn't leave the sims card.
anyway so i assumed that the phone needed to be reflashed with flashtool so i downloaded the correct FTF and attempted to flash the phone. I was able to get to both flash mode and fastboot mode at the time. But whenever i started flashing the rom after about 10 minutes allmost at the end of the process while it was flashing the system partition it would report a error
ERROR - Read error :31 : A device attached to the system is not functioning.
ERROR - Error flashing. Aborted

i tried many times to do this.
about 2 times i got the sony logo to flash for 1 second then back to not responding...
now after trying some more its even more unresponsive. I cant even get to any modes. no flashmode or fastboot.
and when i plug in the charger the power led flashes once and does nothing else even if i hold any or all buttons while plugging in the charger.
and when i plug it in to my computer the computer makes the noise that a usb device is plugged in.
in device manager the phone pops up as
"QHSUSB_DLOAD" with a triangle prompting that The drivers for this device are not installed.
anything i can do?
EDIT: QHSUSB_DLOAD drivers are installed and read by S1 tool but another error occurs.
Anyone?
hey everyone,
I recently got a warranty replacement of my xperia z3 compact. It came with the latest 5.1.1. I downgraded to .77 (kitkat) through flashtool, rooted, installed the latest dual recovery. In TWRP, I restored one of my old TWRP backups, which was a .28 (lollipop 5.0 I believe). When I press reboot after restoring, the phone won't turn on anymore. No LED or anything. When I plug it into the charger, the LED blinks red. When I hold down the power button while charging, the LED light became solid red.
Flashtool doesn't recognize the phone. What else can I do? Did I corrupt the bootloader? Any advice is appreciated. Thank you.
happened to me, just flash any stock firmware with flashtool (it doesnt need to be recognised) and do not plug in until it tells you to.
then follow the instructions and wipe everything
hope it helps

I tried flashing with flashtool, but when I plug the phone in when asked to, flashtool does not recognize the phone being plugged in.
Do you know why this happened? Did I do anything (downgrade firmware, flash wrong firmware) that caused this to happen?
I cant tell what did it, because flashing any rom will brick mine to this state, and what do you mean by not recognised? Does it say preparing files for flashing? does it give the 'press volume down and power button' pop up?

yes, after it's done preparing files for flashing, a popup appears which tells me to plug in the phone while holding the volume down button. When I plug in the phone, nothing happens. The flashing process doesn't start

Do you be sure to hold the power and volume down button before and during the time you plug it in, until the pop up disappears?
Had something similar, but flashtool magically fixed it

I know it's a late reply, but my Z3c is rooted and running marshmellow. My phone would do the same thing, I thought it was bricked. After monkeying and monkeying it finally came back. The problem was I let the battery drain all the way to 0, and even while plugged in for a bit it didn't do anything. I think it liked it when I would plug it into my laptop instead of the power outlet. From then on, I haven't had the problem because I try to avoid the battery going completely dead.
Although the last time I did by accident, it did come back after plugging it in. My suggestion? Try plugging and charging it in your laptop and then turn on.

sorry about my english
is your PC detect your phone in fastmode ?
press and hold volume down and connect to your flashtool in your pc
Hi Guys,
I really need your help unbrick my Xperia Z1 C902.
Here's what happened:
I tried to flash a custom rom that wasn't compatible VIA AROMA ( I had MiUi 7 custom rom ) and it is now dead. It won't boot. No sign of life. No Vibration when pressed vol up+Power . Hard reset ( via sim slot ) has no affect on the Phone. No recogniztion to USB on laptop ( tried other USB cables as well ).
I have left the phone be charged overnight assuming the flash took a toll on the battery ( it was about 30% when I flashed the phone )and in the morning there was a red LED. Assuming the battery had enougfh power I tried to turn it on, connect to Laptop, Fast boot mode, flash mode but with no luck.
Day2:
Left the phone connected to the stock charger for about 20 hours or so.
No LED lights. No vibrations. No sign of detection on the laptop.
Sony Companion will not detect my phone via fastmode as well.
This phone is out of warranty so I was hoping you can help save some bucks before I take it to the Sony centre.
I looked through XDA all day but nothing has helped me bring my phone back to life.
EDIT:
I have downloaded India Stcok ROM via Xperifirm and tried to flash it but the flashtool does not detect the phone. Fastboot and Flashmode both does not detect the phone. Strange thing is, when I plug the phone to laptop holding the Vol down button, a red LED blinks for few seconds but the fastboot does not work ( as my phone has bootloader unlocked )
ADB does not work - No devices connected.
If there is anyway I can flash or install TWRP recovery ( or any for that matter ), I have the old working MiUI rom in the external SD card.
I will owe you a beer or two and a dinner if you 're able to bring my phone back to life. Please I am desperate.

Hi.
You have flashing led that means there is some hope first press and hold hard reset button for 15-20 seconds under sim cover then realizes it. Now plug in charger and dont touch the phone before 4-5 hours. Let it charge even though red led comes on.
After that disconnect your phone and don't turn it on wait for 5 minutes.
Also do check if the flash tool drivers are properly installed (window 8 and newer needs you to disable driver signature enforcement) use flashtool version 0.9.19.0, dont know why but this version works best for me.
Flash *.108 firmware (available in xda) also do always check hash after downloading.
Now try to flash the firmware as normally we do and hope for the best. This method worked fine for me many times.
Good luck..! [emoji111]
The flashing Red LED is bringing back some really bad memories of my own Hard brick. Try what kathanpatel suggests first - holding the reset button down.
Are your symptoms identical to this?:

The red button in a sim slot won't have any effect unless your phone is connected to the charger (not computer). Connect the charger, press and hold the red button for about 10 seconds until there is vibration. Then immediately push and hold the power button for a few seconds.
